After a surprising loss to Florida State last week, the women's basketball team has been revitalized in its last couple games, defeating both opponents by considerable margins. Last night's contest against Wake Forest (10-13, 3-9 in ACC) demonstrated just how strong Duke (19-3, 10-1) is both offensively and defensively.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- While both Duke and Clemson denied that the game was any more physical than normal, the players limping off the court last night made it seem otherwise. A minute into yesterday's game, Clemson's Julie Talley was on the floor after rolling her ankle. Kenetra Queen replaced her and fell minutes later after incurring a hit in the face. While both Talley and Queen eventually returned, Duke's Iciss Tillis left the game suffering from a concussion at the end of the first half. To start the second half, the Tigers' Julie Aderhold limped off the court with another ankle injury. Injuries were indicative of the game's intensity, as No. 2 Duke (17-2, 8-0 in ACC) aptly defeated ACC-rival Clemson (15-5, 5-4) 78-60.
An upset may be unlikely, but N.C. State's post players ensure that it is not impossible.
